To get the car analogy correct, it is more like the taxi drive, who takes you to the location you wanted to go and then somehow talks you into not stopping and instead driving all over the rest of the city instead.
Lawyers income is based upon how convincing their legal arguments are, now don't think for a second they don't subtly target those skill at their own customers as well in order to extend their highly profitable litigation roles.
Yes, not much out there at all, just the rest of the universe. Columbus, Cook and Marco Polo all had a hard time at getting funding too. You know what, we all have very little idea about what we can do up there, basically because we aren't really up there yet but, given time people just like you will use hind sight to claim credit for all the things eventually done up there.
Why would you live in a colony in space, well assuming your life in measured in hundreds of years and not tens, you avoid all the inevitable calamities that befall homes bound to the earth, tornadoes, wild fires, hurricanes, blizzards, earthquakes, floods and, various venomous pests. The only real question is given the opportunity is whether people will participate in a human adventure in space. If greed is your only motivation then can you be considered truly human or are you technically alien.
The real catch with space development is pollution, the more that goes up there and more the commercially greed driven it is, the more minute fragments there will be whizzing about in orbit at high speed waiting to eventually strike something or for it's orbit to decay, often taking many years.
Why shoot anything. Logically you would tweak the battery so that using high discharge capacitors you could overload it and detonate it as the explosive and fragment source (weight saving whilst increasing destructive payload). So you have a short range, very low cost, aerial mine usable and manufacturable by all and sundry, a mobile IED or with government authorised combatants use it, an assassination device.
The most obvious answer, if your asking/. what you need to do as a network administrator then go away and let someone who knows how to do the job, do it.
Want to learn how to be a network administrator, then get a job as a junior and learn the ropes from a skilled network administrator it will only take a few years.
Asking for hints from the net and going the trial and error approach, will only teach the network amateur and the likely nepotistic company that hired them, the error of their ways.
Network administrators need to be able to work with hardware, work with software and more importantly work with suppliers and work with employees. Want anybody to tell you how to do all that in one slashdot comment, then your in way over you head ie, like parent said with unlimited budget hire someone who can actually do the job and just learn how to be an effective sociopath unashamedly taking credit for some one else's work.
Consider this. The anonymous platform is about tackling the problem, not elevating those that tackle the problem. It is all about solutions to some of the troublesome threats to the peoples digital revolution and not about creating phony mass media heroes.
Sony of course does not wish to admit that organised crime via corrupt aliments within it's own corporate organisation set about to personally profit at the expense of Sony's customers.
Sony wants to bullshit it's way out of it's problems rather than having to pay the hefty fine and damages arising from a class actions lawsuit.
So yeah, some 'Anonymous' Sony system engineer gave the inside info on stealing all that customer data, Sony still has to pay for the privacy fines and fiscal damages, blaming it on the 'Anonymous' bogey man is just some PR=B$ scam that will go no where.
I just go to stores where they call out extra check staff when there are more than two people in queue. Also, staff smile say hello and appreciate a "not to bad, how are you" with a smile in return. Life is about people, I switched insurance to a company that had local people answer the phone, I switched ISPs to a company that had local people answer the phone ie when I am paying for a service I will not deal with poorly automated answering or people with language difficulties. Not only does it make life feel a little better, a little more human, it also employs fellow citizens. Choose where you money goes, it makes a difference in everyone's life.
Dumb enough for that manager to spend a few months cooling his heels in jail. The first thing these people should do with regard to that civil suit is get press criminal charges and simply let the government prove their case, it will save quite a chunk of money in their claim.
The sense comes in when you are dealing with a whole range of every day people with varying degrees of driving skills and paying varying degrees of attention and varying times. The sense your trying to make is how to reduce the inevitable carnage from the varying road interactions, when they are over 40,000 per year, you really have to do something about it.
So sorry, all you expert drivers who always pay attention to the road but speed limits are there to protect you in spite of yourself from other people who pay less attention (also tries to protect them from their own stupidity). Having spent a year off on a driving incident recovery and recuperation I can appreciate no matter how careful and attentive you are, you can not also drive the other persons vehicle to stop them from doing something reckless and involving you in their mistake.
Two vehicles doing 130km/h in a head on, don't cut the people out of those cars, hose them out. So settings speeds taking into account 'all' road users, plus stray animals, plus random vehicle failures, seems pretty sensible and when more than 40,000 a year die in the US not even looking at permanent injuries like, spinal and neck trauma, dismemberment, brain injuries, well, suck it up goof ball speeders, the speed limit is still to high.
Best place to put speed traps is where too many people are breaking the law and need to be reminded. I also don't see any harm in traffic fines being a percentage of your income and throwing in a compulsory this is what happens retch video.
It is new, that the New Zealand government will sell out it's own citizens interests, to suit US corporate interests. Punishing whole New Zealand families because of insatiable US corporate greed. Now that is new and really pathetically lame. New Zealand has surrender innocent until proven guilty for it's in fact going so far as guilt upon accusation and even what looks like another countries government, one for sale to the highest bidder, to write New Zealander's laws for them against New Zealander's interests. Sounds like New Zealander's better watch and for Americans wearing oversized gumboots and asking them to bend over.
Profits, let's not forget they also spend more on advertising the drugs then they do on developing the drugs.
Hey, hmm, that advertising also pays for the production of much copyrighted content, TV, Radio, Newspaper, Magazine and even internet content.
Somehow I think it would be a whole lot cheaper to open source all drug development research and provide the details free.
As for other copyrighted content, when is enough, enough, there is already more out there that anybody in ten life times can watch, listen and read. Why should any taxpayer funds be spent on protecting. Maybe, just maybe, if the content is reviewed and is deemed to be of actually beneficial value to society it should get a limited period of protection maybe like 10 years.
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, if you've still got an old 32bit computer kicking along just fine and you are running other companies security software to make up for security failings (let's not forget all the claims to the exact opposite by M$ when XP first came out), really why would you bother paying for another M$ OS, when you can get any Linux distribution to provide you greater security for when you need it free.
Truth is apart for dual booting with Linux, when it comes to keep your old computer going just use the OS you were forced to buy when you got the hardware, until the system dies and you buy new hardware, hint you will most likely be forced to buy the M$ OS again anyhow.
This of course would tend to indicate, iPad are largely purchased as toys, rather than functional devices.
On the Android side, people would just prefer a 10 to 12 netbook running android, maybe with flip and rotate tablet (what ever method to get the keyboard behind the screen, might be simplest just to disable keyboard once it rotates beyond 180 degrees) functionality.
China is no longer a communist nation, it is a corporate fascist nation. An autocracy largely run for the benefit and ego of those at the top.
They intrinsically will do nothing that threatens the power and wealth of those at the top. Of course those at the top will use the power of the Government of China for their personal advantage mainly locally but also more internationally in the future.
Corporate wars are very likely to have a made in China origin. Executive corruption, blackmail and even elimination, to ensure corporate competitive advantage. Industrial computer hacking is of course a part of the package.
The trains don't specifically seem to be the problem. The tracks and earthworks below and the site works around those tracks seem to be the problem.
The trains a built within in specialised facilities and there are limits to 'the cheapest tender' components and inspecting those components prior to fitting, even with corruption (not really that many trains).
When it comes to earthworks and siteworks of course it is a completely different matter with plenty of scope for lowest tender short cuts, inflated works specifications, material supply quality and work quality inspections.
The track is in fact the highest cost of high speed rail and it must pass through many hands, many different regional authorities and many different contractors. It sounds pretty much like the government of China got ripped off big time when it came to the track laying and those loans covering defective works are now under threat. Everyone knows how quickly shoddy contractors go bankrupt, the money has disappeared and there is nothing available to pay for extensive rework required, often more expensive than the cost of the original track.
The story doesn't make any sense. Why would anyone survey field offices to check their ability to deal with and analyse computer issues.
It is a specialised field and you would assume any national policing agency would create a specialist task force and office to deal with those issues.
No different to the other forensic investigators, using rough and tumble field agents (active physical and high threat activity) is a dual sided waste, it means you can not use the less than physically fit but definitely mentally fit.
It sounds like the FBI need to learn about national based telecommuting and providing live audio visual links between agents in the field and specialist in the laboratory.
It is straight up copyright infraction. All websites are copyrighted by default. When Medicom intercepts and alters the web site without the permission of the website owner it is committing a copyright infraction.
Truth is ISPs should be bound by common carrier status and be barred from monitoring, intercepting, censoring and, altering the digital communications they carry.
They are also committing trademark infringement by association their content with the trademarks of others companies. Best way to handle it, let it go for a few months and then hit then with a mega copyright and trademark infringement lawsuit for hundreds of millions of dollars.
Competition is exactly what the publishing houses do not want. The more content that is available the cheaper it becomes. There is already more out than anyone can watch, so it all start competing for access to the consumers limited amount of time.
WTF, seriously, WTF, the majority of users have no idea how to use any operating system. Put the applications they need to use on the desktop, they clickey with the mouse thingy and proceed to dump document after document on the desktop there in after and away they go.
What your question really is then, should employers sue public schools that teach closed source for profit operating systems rather than free open source operating system and thus force an unnecessary cost upon employers, quite a bold stance;D.
That being, is the Apple iPhone chronically overpriced and are their customers being suckered, profit generated would indicate a pretty big 'YES'. Some information you just never want you customers to see.
Without loser pays this is bound to happen. Why spend money on winning on a court case, on to lose that money you are spending and keeping the company going does not justify that loss, better to just let the company die.
In other countries where loser pays in civil suits, it is worth fighting because you can get back a substantial portion of the money you spend defending yourself.
Patent and copyright trolls won't play in loser pays countries because all of a sudden you lose one case and you have now lost them all, plus those victims costs.
No problem, I basically stream bits of the news and other snippets and of course to review content that I might pay for it it doesn't turn out to be shit like movies and TV series.
Basically the pigopolists are so full of shit when it comes to marketing their products they are no longer be relied upon for anything. So I have no problems streaming any new movie or TV series before buying to see if it is actually worth it, suck it up you lying liars. Without being able substantially preview the content via streaming it (by substantially I mean substantially no some bullshit all the best parts preview) then I no longer touch it.
As for music, I started to hear nothing but the greed, lies and narcissism and it put me right off. Every now and again I,ll listen to some out of copyright oldies.
Nazi Germany is a lesson in how things go badly, not necessarily all those things being bad. Democracy was corrupted in Germany to become fascism and then Nazism and that does not make democracy bad. Eugenics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics certainly went bad when it shifted from promoting sound social reproductive principles to executions of politically undesirables.
A licence to reproduce and be responsible for bringing up children in a world 6.91 billion, really honestly doesn't seem all that unreasonable. It is going to happen or well, things will just get fugly.
As for banning the swastika, that seems hardly fair to those nations where it was a symbol of well being and good luck for many thousands of years, just because with was abused by one political party in Germany for twenty odd years.
When it comes to bad ideas, the best way to fight them is with a flood of good ideas not censorship. The reality is that those bad web pages are out numbered by 'good' web pages by a factor of millions to one. Better that those that produce 'bad' web pages, well, expose themselves and can be investigated to see if they are actually doing bad things.
As for history, well, there never ever was an internet before, a least not for us short hair crested rock throwing monkeys, so we have yet to see how it will turn out. So far after 30 odd years of some pretty disgusting mass media propaganda, lies, distortions, and corporate corruption, the internet seems to being doing a reasonable of job of starting to rebuild the overall human social mind state.
Neither crazy or sane, this kind of crap only comes from 'for sale for college degrees' and nepotism. Seems like a national accreditation and testing system should be required for college degrees coming out of the US.
Reality is IPv6 will be hardware driven and that would be consumer hardware. As the telecom incumbent dies out, so the historical telephone number will go with it to be replaced with an IPv6 address for portable hardware, which then will be associated with a user domain address and linked to their other IPv6 hardware.
